You know, we use the term bipartisan, but I think actually this is something that's just nonpartisan.

Everyone believes across the aisle in the importance of making sure that the U.S.

has technological, industrial, and economic leadership, and that is important for national security as well.

And that is how we can create opportunity.

And then everything else is a great forum really to have discussion and debate around.

ecosystem and so it is very merged but we want to make sure that we're going to continue to keep this because you know the hill and valley forum it was founded under the biden administration in 2029 we want to make sure that irrespective of who is president it still is a place where we can continue to maintain those ties no matter which president is in office

I think that, one, in the US, domestically, you will continue to see these relationships deepen.

And really, this is not anything new.

The United States used to practice statecraft.

The United States used to invest heavily in industry.

The United States also, for example, was a key driver in the creation of

of the Silicon Valley industry, right?

It was the Cold War era of funding, whether it was grants through research in universities or whether it was government contracts in the early days really helped build Silicon Valley in California.

And then that has obviously expanded to a global tech industry.

And so I think the same trend is happening abroad where you're seeing governments want to partner people with their technological sector

But in regards to governments and how they partner with each other, what we've seen is actually a focus on technology has been a key factor for that.

If you look at initiatives like Paxilica or various other initiatives, they're centered around industrial and technological partnership.

And so I think United States companies will play a big role in how the U.S.

and our allies work together.

And I think the same way we want to see successful companies in Europe, in the Middle East, in Japan and South Korea play a big role in how they also partner with the U.S.
